Stream of Consciousness 6

Wishing for release on the edge of
The ledge arms spread eagle
For flight into the dark night
Of the soul
Sea of lights below
Contemplating flightless birds
And how their feathers whisper
Lost hopes and dreams to them in the night
As they huddle underground
Devoid of flight
Upstart in the morning
Clouds and winds of change
Catching currents with human arms
Soaring on dreams and ambrosia
Seeking the greater sky
The sky beyond the sky
​The ultimate high

Can I reach it without aid?
Will I suffer to reach?
When will I uncover the limits
Of imagination breaking boundaries of time
And space loosed from the geography of this body, this place
A soul within skin kept within, kept within
Longing to find a crack
To seep out into the world
A trickle down energy of spirit
Descending onto my city
​Onto my entire world
Effusing love to those outside myself
Sending it like a blanket over the city below
I jump
I fly
​I scatter my love as I fall
